Long liquid lines or high vertical lift from the liquid receivers, due to pressure drop, will develop liquid line flashing which is worsened as condensing pressures are reduced. This has a negative effect on system efficiency.

If flash gas is creeping into your liquid lines, additional stages of compressor cylinders are often required to circulate it leading to additional cost. Consider this option as a savings of both energy and money.
